About this ebook
In 1990, under the direction of Ernest Boyer, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching published a classic report on the loss of a meaningful basis for true community on college campuses—and in the nation. Now this expanded edition of Campus Life: In Search of Community reintroduces educational leaders to the Boyer report's proposals while offering up-to-date analysis and recommendations for Christian campuses today. Editors Drew Moser and Todd C. Ream have assembled pairs of academic and student-development leaders from top Christian colleges to offer a hopeful update on the practical contributions of Christian higher education to the practice of community. This volume includes new chapters, the long out-of-print Boyer report in its entirety, and a discussion guide to facilitate team conversations. Higher education now stands at a critical point, yet the contributors to this expanded edition of Campus Life see current challenges as an opportunity to revive Boyer’s commitment to its formative power. Contributors include:
- Mark L. Sargent and Edee Schulze of Westmont College
- Randall Basinger and Kris Hansen-Kieffer of Messiah College
- Brad Lau and Linda Samek of George Fox University
- Stephen T. Beers and Edward Ericson III of John Brown University
- Paul O. Chelsen and Margaret Diddams of Wheaton College
- Doretha O'Quinn and Tim Young of Vanguard University
